red Sees Yellow

Some consider Memorial Day the first weekend of summer. At red Ravine, we’re celebrating spring and summer by sliding in a new masthead.

Thanks to Wallinga Design, the logotype and tagline pop against a palette of bright lemon yellow. The photograph in the masthead is a detail of the larger image below, Yellow Rose. It’s atelephoto shot in natural light on our deck, straight into the petals from the Ecuadorian roses I gave Liz a few weeks ago.

The logotype font is Dead History. For more details, see our About red Ravine pageunder the section on red Ravine Graphics & Design.

Those who handle the administration and graphics “behind the front page” know the kind of detail work that goes into maintaining a blog on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We are grateful to those with the expertise to make our behind-the-scenes work a little easier.

I had not thought of it, but no – I never noticed in a silky hydrated petal that a rose had veins. It seems so obvious as they begin to wilt and this close up. The camera catches everything. I just love that.
